[LPF] The Sword and the Fallen Angel [OOC]

[Scott DeWar]

"What about a Gewaltmarsch, a forced march? I remember Duke's soldiers haveing to get to arch duke's castld to defend once, but in less time to normal march. Vee goo as fas aas can for as lon aas can. If any fail, we all stop. If we all succeed, we get to teefs. Er, thief, I mean."

"I may not be able to keep up fully, but I can stay close enough that my crossbow can still do it's job," Ausk seems less worried about his speed then he did before his new understanding came to him. He watches the fleeing goblin with a mixture of revulsion and pity, understanding full well that the differences between what he once was and what that goblin probably still is are not as great as he would be comfortable admitting out loud.

"I'm too heavy to move fast on my feet," Maia says with trepidation. "But I'll try my best to keep up. And if you have to leave me behind, I will rejoin you as fast as I can."

There was something faintly ludicrous about Maia, a slim, unarmored woman, caling herself heavy.

(OOC - Maia's slow moving guys. Can't do much unless someone has a horse or a travel ritual or something. )

Heinrich gives her a quarying look, but stops at that.

Then after a pause, he looks at tevery one and remembers that the creatures Know as Githyanki are not to be trifled with.

"Nein, Ist not goot!" he says firmly, "githyanki are very dangerous. One was bad, two deadly, more would be suicide. We need to let Priest know, first and track creatures second. They are evil and with out souls. They use magic to kill all those in their way. Wwe are not at full strength and would be easy pickings for them.

We sould either
Eins) meet them in force and pray for the best,
or
Zwei) split to two groups. on of two fastest to take short cut to city aned tell priest and others to track and follow, but do not engage.

Vhat say you all?"

He stands looking to each of them in turn. He has a look of deadly deturmination to do what ever task is necessaary in his eyes, as if the very fire he controls is held within by his arms being crossed-barely held within at that.

"OK, then," says Garnet, adjusting her pack. "We'd best be off." She considers a moment. "We could take the shortcut across country, try ta beat them to the Venza gate. Then we backtrack along the road until we find them. That might be better than tryin' ta catch them in a race."

 

[Shayuri]

Maia nods, relieved. "I prefer that to splitting up," she agrees.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Heinrick nods in agreement after a momnet of thought. He looks around to see if there might be somethng of use before departing the keep.

 

[perrinmiller]

Heinrich doesn't see anything else of use that he did not see before.

[sblock=OOC]I assume the plan is to try and cut the corner off the dog-leg you used to get to the keep (by going through the woods instead) and try to save some time.

I will treat this like a Skills test. Everyone that is trying to help shorten the time will roll individual (no Aid Another) Survival checks (since I am judging no one has been this way before). If multiple people try, every failure will cancel out one success. Failure means time to return to Venza is same. If net result is all your successes get canceled by failures AND the last Check fails by 10, you will get lost and lose time.

I need everyone to post IC content (with or without a Survival Check) to make sure we are all here and heading back to Venza so I can update your arrival.[/sblock]

 

[Scott DeWar]

Heinrich heads out to follow the way every one arrived by.
